You have to start somewhere. If you wait until you have full coverage of all languages before launching, it'll be years of waiting until you find out whether the concept actually works at all. (Because the goal here is obviously for this to either drive more Firefox adoption, or at least improve retention, they're not just doing it for fun.)
I don’t think it has to cover every single language to be useful, but of the big ones I’m surprised there’s no Chinese or Japanese at all, not even in beta, considering the amount of translation demand.
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean would be the languages I need more often than Western languages. This is usually because there is often an English variant of sites in EU, even sites in India.
